It’s diverse, but not hectic as NY. You have a good amount of fine dinning options, the metro is so much better than many metro in other parts of the country. Buying a property here makes economical sense, since the fed government is here and has most of the workforce.

Because if you serve hard liquor, you have to maintain a 45%-55% food to mixed drink ratio (beer and wine don't count). You can't have a hole in the wall establishment that focuses on selling alcohol.

If you have a beer/wine only license, you have to sell $4,000 in food a month, no matter what. $2,000 of that must be in entrees.

Exceptions have been carved out over the years for entertainment venues, vineyards and breweries where alcohol is brewed on-premise, but these laws date back to the end of prohibition, and have basically stopped all dive bars from existing in Virginia.

I know you said opposite of CorePower but the C1 and HPF classes are really mild and chill. You can also look for candlelit classes on the schedule where the lights are out and you can flow at your own pace. Good luck!
